Article 11. Delivery

The terms of DELIVERY of the products are provided in the "delivery policy" referred to in Annex 2 hereof.

Article 12. Guarantees

Apart from the commercial guarantees that BENU BLANC could propose for certain products, every CUSTOMER benefits from "legal" guarantees, for all the products, which are detailed below.

Article 12.1. Legal guarantee of conformity

Article L. 217-4 of the Consumer Code: " BENU BLANC delivers a good in conformity with the contract and is responsible for the defects of conformity existing at the time of delivery.
He is also responsible for defects in conformity resulting from the packaging, the assembly instructions or the installation when the latter was put at his charge by the contract or was carried out under his responsibility".

Article L.217-5 of the French Consumer Code: " The goods are in conformity with the contract:
1° If they are fit for the purpose usually expected of similar goods and, if applicable :
- if it corresponds to the description given by BENU BLANC and has the qualities that the latter has presented to the buyer in the form of a sample or model;
- if it has the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view of the public statements made by BENU BLANC, by the producer or by his representative, particularly in advertising or labelling;
2° Or if it has the characteristics defined by mutual agreement between the parties or is fit for any special purpose sought by the buyer, brought to the attention of the seller and that the latter has accepted.

BENU BLANC is likely to answer for the defects of conformity existing at the time of the delivery and the defects of conformity resulting from the packing, the instructions of assembly or the installation when this one was put at its load or was carried out under its responsibility.

The action resulting from the defect of conformity is prescribed by two (2) years as from the delivery of the product. (Article L. 217-12 of the Consumer Code)

In case of lack of conformity, the CUSTOMER may request the replacement or repair of the product, at his choice. However, if the cost of the choice of the CUSTOMER is manifestly disproportionate to the other possible option, taking into account the value of the product or the importance of the defect, BENU BLANC will be able to proceed to a refund, without following the option chosen by the CUSTOMER.

In the event that a replacement or repair is impossible, BENU BLANC undertakes to refund the price of the product within thirty (30) days of receiving the returned product and in exchange for the return of the product by the CUSTOMER to the following address BENU BLANC Returns Department - 1 Chemin du Tracollet 38113 Veurey-Voroize.

Finally, the CUSTOMER is exempted from proving the existence of the lack of conformity of the product during the twenty-four (24) months following the delivery of the product, except for second-hand goods for which this period is fixed at six (6) months. (Article L.217-7 of the Consumer Code).

It is specified that the present legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of the commercial guarantee granted, if any, on the products.

Article 12.2 Guarantee of hidden defects

BENU BLANC is held responsible for the guarantee because of the hidden defects of the sold product which make it unsuitable for the use for which it is intended, or which decrease so much this use that the CUSTOMER would not have acquired it, or would have given only a lesser price, if he had known them. (Article 1641 of the Civil Code)

This guarantee allows the CUSTOMER who can prove the existence of a hidden defect to choose between the reimbursement of the price of the product if it is returned and the reimbursement of a part of its price, if the product is not returned.

In the event that a replacement or repair is impossible, BENU BLANC undertakes to refund the price of the product within thirty (30) days of receipt of the returned product and in exchange for the return of the product by the CLIENT to the following address BENU BLANC Returns Department - 1 chemin du Tracollet 38113 Veurey-Voroize, France.

The action resulting from redhibitory defects must be brought by the CUSTOMER within two (2) years from the discovery of the defect. (Paragraph1 of article 1648 of the Civil Code)

Article 13. Packaging

The products will be packed in accordance with the transport standards in force, in order to guarantee a maximum of protection for the products during the DELIVERY, and if necessary their conservation at the right temperature.

Article 14. Responsibility

The responsibility of BENU BLANC can in no case be engaged in case of non-performance or poor execution of contractual obligations attributable to the CUSTOMER, including during the entry of his ORDER.

BENU BLANC cannot be held responsible, or considered as having failed in the present, for any delay or non-execution, when the cause of the delay or the non-execution is linked to a case of force majeure as it is defined by the jurisprudence of the French courts and tribunals.

It is also specified that BENU BLANC does not control the websites that are directly or indirectly linked to the SITE. Consequently, it excludes all responsibility for the information published on them. The links to third-party websites are provided for information purposes only and no guarantee is provided as to their content.

Finally, the CUSTOMER undertakes in any case to take note of the precautions for use of the product delivered, mentioned on the product or its packaging. BENU BLANC cannot be held responsible for any inconvenience or damage related directly or indirectly to the abnormal use of a product.

Article 15. Force majeure

The responsibility of BENU BLANC cannot be implemented if the non-execution or the delay in the execution of one of its obligations described in these GTCs results from a case of force majeure.

Force majeure occurs in contractual matters when an event beyond the control of the debtor, which could not reasonably be foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the contract and the effects of which cannot be avoided by appropriate measures, prevents the debtor from fulfilling his obligation.

If the impediment is temporary, performance of the obligation is suspended unless the resulting delay justifies termination of the contract. If the impediment is definitive, the contract is solved by right and the parties are released from their obligations under the conditions provided for in articles 1351 and 1351-1 of the Civil Code.

In this respect, the responsibility of BENU BLANC cannot be engaged in particular in case of attack of hackers, unavailability of materials, supplies, spare parts, personal or other equipment, interruption of electronic communication networks, as well as in case of occurrence of any circumstance or event external to the will of BENU BLANC intervening after the conclusion of the GCS and preventing the execution in normal conditions.

It is specified that, in such a situation, the CUSTOMER cannot claim the payment of any compensation and cannot bring any recourse against BENU BLANC.

In case of the occurrence of one of the above mentioned events, BENU BLANC will try to inform the CLIENT as soon as possible.
